Friday we drove to Deerfield Beach to have lunch with Mother. She made a delicious soup for us. Nothing like home cooking!

After our visit, we continued to Hollywood and camped at a county park. Friday night we went to a comedy show in Ft. lauderdale featuring Kathleen Madigan, my favorite comic.

Saturday we did the final leg of our journey back to Tavernier. It was nice to get back to where there’s water everywhere.

Back on Plantation Key, we pulled right into the driveway and were relieved that the house was in perfect condition. We had been a little concerned because there was a lot of rain and several tropical weather systems here while we were gone.

Here’s the map of our trip. We went a total of 4,763 miles and drove through 14 states and 2 Canadian Provinces. It was a great trip, but we’re glad to be home for a while.
